I buy any Free & Clear for all of us rather than having separate types of detergent. If I want our sheets or whatever to smell really good I'll use scent boosters for that load but no fragrances for the baby, just my preference.

I have sensitive skin to fragrances and dyes, and I use Gain (original scent) without problems, so we’re going to go with that for LO. We did dreft to start with for my first, but had no issues with Gain so we switched to it right away - I couldn’t stand the smell of dreft.

I bought free and clear, but my husband really didn’t like the way it made things smell. We were gifted dreft at our shower so we have been washing baby clothes in that instead. Once we run out we will try our regular tide and see how baby does.
